More details in my digital model

[cassi_91]

Hi everybody,

i'm approching to Lego Digital Design with the goal to reproduce the town hall of my city..

(some photos here: https://www.google.i...iw=1366&bih=600)

For the moment i realized this model

but now i need to add more details on the facade to improve the realism..

I already check many galleries on this forum, but i don't know how proceed! :(

Any suggestions are welcome,

thank you very much

Without knowing what your city's town hall looks like, it's a little hard for any of us to give suggestions...

Hello cassi_91 and welcome to Eurobricks.

I'm moving your topic to our Town section, where I think you'll get better help on general designs questions. The Digital Design Forum is actually more geared towards questions and topic about digital tools and similar.

However, you are welcome back to the Digital Design forum if you have issues and questions about LDD

Is this build intended to be minifig scale?

Maybe a row of these https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4085 with the studs covered under red 1x8 or whatever length tiles along the top. From the reference pictures it seems like the red structure on top needs to stick out one stud anyway, so i would mount those on some of these https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30414 in red, then make the red top structure on stud longer and place it on top. Hope it makes some sense

not really, it's for an exposition..

the scale is around 1:100

Check out some old town halls and try to ascertain what it is about the building you like.

I find basing a design on a real building helps a lot.

For this one how about a simple focus on repetition of shapes and breaking up the sections with a band or two like my previous MOC

A window behind each arch and a couple of plants will see you to the next stage then re post for feedback. These things are best done in small steps.

Also realistic additions like gutters and downpipes help a lot. Ps work out the roof early it's easy to be out by one stud so be careful.

Look forward to your progress.
